GAnMENr-HnNGERl SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 777,357, dated December 13, 1904.

Application filed FebrnarylB, 1904. $erial No. 194,265. No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELIZABETH h IJv'nns'inn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in (Jrarmentd-langers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to means whereby dresses or underskirts may be suspended in a compact form without creasing or folding the same; and the object thereof is to provide a simple and inexpensive device upon which to hang a dress or underskirt lengthwise, and thereby prevent creases and folds being made therein, as is usually done when hung on a hook, nail, or usual support. I accomplish this object by means of the device described herein and shown in the accompanying drawing, in which- A is the garment-hanger and comprises the two end or head pieces B and 13, secured to the shelf of closet Gr or other suitable support by means of the pending hook G, secured to the under side of the shelf and adapted to be hooked into the screw-eye U in the end pieces. One of the end pieces B is provided with a plurality of screw-eyes D, which engages the hook E on the garmentsupporting rod E. These garment-supporting rods five in number are bored and secured to the head-pieces B by the transverse rod 1*. When it is desired to place a garment in the garment-hanger, one of the rods E is raised out of engagement with the screw-eye E and the garment, as H, is passed over the rod lengthwise and the hook isreplaced in the screw-eye. In this manner there will be no creases or wrinkles made in the garment in hanging it up, and those already made in the garment while being worn will be more or less removed.

Having described my invention, what 1 claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A garmentdianger con'lprising two end pieces, the said end pieces being provided with means for their attachment to suitable supports, one of the said end pieces being provided with a rod-supporting bolt, a plurality of garment-supporting rods pivoted thereon, the said rods being provided at their free ends with hooks adapted to engage screw-eyes on the opposite end pieces, the opposite end piece being provided with a plurality of screw-eyes.

2. The hereinalescribed garment-hanger, comprising the end pieces B and B, rod-supiorting bar F secured to the head-piece B,

the head-piece B being provided with a plurality of serew-eyes D, a plurality of garmentsupporting rods E having hooks on the outer free ends, the same being pivotally secured to the rod F, and the upright supports C substantially as herein shown and described.

In witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my name this 11th day of February, 1904.

ELIZABETH M. WEBSTER.
